• Sampling and quantization are the two important processes used to

convert continuous analog image into digital image.

• Image sampling refers to discretization of spatial coordinates whereas


quantization refers to discretization of gray level values or amplitude
values.

• Given a continuous image f(x,y), digitizing the coordinate values is


called sampling and digitizing the amplitude (intensity) values is called
quantization.
Representing Digital Image
An image may be defined as a two-dimensional function, f(x, y), where x and y are
spatial (plane) coordinates, and the amplitude of ‘f ‘ at any pair of coordinates (x, y)
is called the intensity or gray level of the image at that point.

Pixel

Coordinate convention used to represent digital images Boxes inside the image represent pixels
If k is the number of bits per pixel, then the number of gray levels, L, is an integer
power of 2.
L = 2k
When an image can have gray levels, it is common practice to refer to the image as a
“k-bit image”. For example, an image with 256 possible grey level values is called an 8
bit image.
Therefore the number of bits required to store a digitalized image of size M*N is
b = M*N*k

Example:
How much storage capacity is required to store an image with size of 1024*768 and
256 gray levels?
As it has 256 gray levels, it is an 8 bit image since 28 = 256.
Hence storage capacity required = M*N*k= 1024*768*8 = 62,91,456 bits = 7,86,432
bytes = 786.432 KB
